So anywho, I decided to respond to one of the message boards when I saw that there were more people giving negative feedback to a woman who asked a simple question about the diet. BLEW MY MIND! So this is what I wrote: <BR>

I really should take a little time to write some goals down. Heck, writing 1 attainable goal would be great! <BR>
<BR>
But then I need to put it somewhere that I'll remember that I actually set a goal, so that I can keep it before me! <em>246</em> <BR>
<BR>
Okay, so my next step...write 1 goal <em>41</em> <BR>
And I think I'll put it on my door...no, maybe in my bathroom on the wall...hmmmm <BR>

Thank you FRANKBUD, HIPSIPPER & CIERAPOET (Deb)!!! <BR>
I am starting slow! Since my last blog I have walked around the musuem, walked/jogged around the neighborhood and did stretch cardio at church. <BR>
<BR>
I also signed up for SP's Virtual 5k for April (it'll be my 1st 5K ever) and enrolled in the Walk/Jog Training course. 3 Days a weekworth of instruction. <BR>

I'm wanting to restart my exercising & feel like a run around the neighborhood or across the sands at the beach! <BR>
But truth is that I must start off slow so I'm trying to figure out what to do. And where to go... <BR>
<BR>
Any ideas? <BR>
<BR>
I'm thinking I will search through the SparkTeams or Spark articles to find a walking or walk to run plan for beginners. So I'll see where this Sat. lands me. <BR>

My December 2010 PUSH! <BR>
I will try exercising everyday in December I started yesterday, Monday the 6th. And after the tightness in my body loosens up, I will feel better I'm sure! Why will it happen now as oppose to any other time? Well, I'm just thinking that its only 4 weeks and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! As long as I say & repeat & believe this everyday I should be okay! I would also like to lose some weight of course and I'm trying to catch up with my F...Tue, 7 Dec 2010 12:49:01 ESTRedo My Home: The Thinking Stagehttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3771293

Hey there!! I'm thinking of Designing my own Beginners Bootcamp! Any suggestions? <BR>

It seems as though most of the bootcamps out there are packed with an excessive amount of work that I just can't successfully complete! Too packed, too demanding. And yes I know that's the purpose! <BR>
